CENTRIFUGAL MACHINE.

To all whom t mm1/concern:

-Be it known that' I, HENRYv G. Monnis, a

citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Phila delphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Centrifugal Machine, of which the following is a specification.

lThe object of the present invention is to provide a simple, efficient, compact, and reiablel centrifugal machine adapted to effect a continuous separation as of .sugar and mo` lasses. l

-ranged around the lower rim of the i In i lTo this and otiie'r eiids hereinafter set forth the invention comprises the improvements to be presently described, and fina a view, principally in central sect-ion, of a centrifugal. machine embodying features of the invention; and Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the same. l

-In the drawings, 1 is a stationary housing providedwith an upwardly-extending neck 2, which carries Yat its-to a`bearin 3, and this housing is also provi 'ed at 'its` ase with a bearing 4, properly alined with the bearing 3.

- 5 is a casing arranged above the housing and o ening and having a dome-shaped bafiief p ate l2, connected with the fitting by webs 13, spaced a art.- The' baffle-plate 1s con-l nected with t e spindle 8. At the base the basket is shown a's providedwith a iian e 14.

15 is an lannular stationary trou 'arasket and atthe base of the casing 5 and carried by the' four le s 6. On thetop of the housing 1 and aroun the neck 2 thereof is arranged an open-top revoluble part 16, provided with a table 17. The table 17 is rotatedby means of'a rack and pinion 18 through the inter- Speccation of Letters Patent.
